Rachel Chinouriri has shared beautiful new single ‘What A Devastating Turn Of Events’.
The songwriting is gliding towards her debut album, which is slated to land on May 3rd via Parlophone. A string of singles have carved out her journey, with Rachel Chinouriri speaking her truth on each release.
Out now, ‘What A Devastating Turn Of Events’ dips into her indie youth – you can hear aspects of Lily Allen’s pop subversion – while adding fresh aspects into the mix. Carefully finessed, it’s held together by that dulcet vocal, so affecting and true.
Rachel has honed her talent across the years, taking the slow-build option to her debut album – yet on this evidence, it’s all been worth it.
A song with real depth, ‘What A Devastating Turn Of Events’ is rooted in real-life, something which makes the subject matter all the more tragic, and affecting.
Rachel comments…
This song is one of my saddest but proudest achievements. It’s personal and based around a true story. It’s the tragic story of a girl who is a similar age to me. I think with every step of her journey, someone somewhere can understand the feelings she felt to some degree.
Whether it’s to do with relationships, friendships, neglect, motherhood, depression, rejection, battling internal hatred or suicidal thoughts … I feel like this is something most people can relate to. The decision to take her own life is something many people have contemplated and her life was almost the perfect storm to create that environment which is heartbreaking.
Without the right support or understanding around you, people can feel trapped and it’s sad she ever made this choice. Her story deserves to be told and I hope more people know that this is a feeling that many people have felt and you should always ask for help.
Tune in now.
